My Wife, a Precious Jewel from God
Aug 29th, 2007 by Paul
My wife is a jewel. She confronted me with an issue yesterday I was having a problem with. It’s amazing how blind I can be at times but my wife can see a fault clearly. Now as a man I could not accept her counsel but that would be wrong and I have fallen in that trap before. She is my wife and that is a great asset I am blessed with.
This problem was a sin and when she told me about it, I spent all day meditating on what she told me. Sure enough it was the enemy putting thoughts in my mind. This morning I repented of that sin and I asked God to reveal the foundation of that sin. His answer was clear, I have to be cautious of where the thought comes from and “…bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5.
I learned a valuable lesson from God speaking through my wife. I seem to be blinded at times and fail to see the riches in my own home. My wife is a gift God has graciously provided to help me. She is my life mate and someone to talk with daily. As the spiritual leader, it is my responsibility to keep God first in our family and listen to His counsel as He speaks through His word and my wife.
Talking with my wife brings intimacy and oneness the oneness that only God brings with His abundant love. I have to keep that male selfish pride ego from robbing me of a precious gift, the gift of oneness with God and my wife. The closer I draw to God and my wife in Jesus name, the stronger we will be as one in Him. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8a.
My wife is a precious gem from God the more I love her, talk with her, the more she shines and sparkles in my life. God has truly blessed me with a gift and it is up to me to cherish this beautiful gift. A rare jewel only God can create and a lovely jewel she is, Thank you Lord.
